Hotaru looked at Larel, still dazed as he told her to clench her teeth, yelping when he fixed her arm, holding it close to her as the pain brought her senses in tune quickly. She looked at herself and noticed the blood was gone, something she figured she should thank Alari for. Hearing that Sybil had gotten out and had messed with Mera certainly explained the crack in the floor, "What did she say?" she asked, her voice kind of hoarse after Mera had squeezed her throat, unlike how clear Sybil had sounded. She was curious since Alari was talking about using the information that Sybil divulged. However, he was leaving and making some comment about working in a Kabuki theater. She rubbed her forehead as he mentioned planting seeds and Sybil not being able to take something. She looked back up at Larel when he asked her how she felt, "I've most definitely been better. Can't completely recall feeling worse. My head still feels like its pounding, my throat hurts, though thankfully my arm is numb at the moment. I'm hoping some of those vampiric healing bits will kick in and make it all go away- one good use for it all, I suppose," she mumbled. She looked around the room again, sighing as she saw the mess, "Well... at least that's over, right? We can at least try and have a quiet [i]rest[/i] of the evening... I'm guessing Mary and Mera are alright though?" she looked back to him, her movements a bit slow, lethargic. She was starting to get the familiar sense of her head being underwater. All she really wanted to do right that second was lay down and sleep, but it was a little bright in the room again due to all the damage. Mera leaned back, taking Mary's face in to her hands, "I'm never going to quit worrying about you," she mumbled, brushing a bang away, "How am I supposed to sleep at night when you leave? Not that I seem to be any good at protecting you anymore anyways," she shook her head. "Are you seriously trying to blame yourself for the demons nasty tricks?" Mary raised a brow at her and Mera was a bit surprised by the annoyance in her sister's voice, "It happened. Neither of us were prepared for it so it was kinda like we were ganged up on, completely overwhelmed, nobody like us is to blame." "We've got to figure out how to get rid of them," Mera muttered, shaking her head, "Damn it, Nero," she muttered, wishing their brother could have picked a less lethal way to attempt to be rid of Sybil before. They needed him now more than ever to try and figure it out. "Then that's where I'll go," Mera looked at Mary again as she spoke, "I'll talk Raina and Eryn and we'll find some of the old elven archives. I'm sure they dealt with more demons than they cared for and so they must have solutions," Mary nodded firmly. Mera still seemed rather hesitant to let her leave, but Mary was too closely related for Mera to have any notion of being able to make her stay once her mind was so clearly made up, "I'll stay for the night with them so we can plan on what we're going to do," Mary stood up, helping Mera back to her feet, "You have your two friends downstairs to protect until we get that solution," she gave her a small smile, trying to make her feel better about it.
